    I went to print by end of tax year bank statements at R5.20 per page.... would you believe that they made me pay for 24 pages of spam that they attach to the last page of each monthly statement. That is an extra R124 out of my pocket for their spam. When I told them that I don't need the back page printed they told me I had to take it as it was part of the statement. I told them that I asked for only the statement and not the spam... again they told me.... tough luck!

    Hectic!

    Mind you, with their cheap transaction fees, I guess there had to be a catch somewhere.

    You can download the bank statements as a CSV file, I do that for our running club and then use that as a basis for an excel worksheet. It looks like you can go back quite far. I am still quite impressed with the power of their internet banking.
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!

    Hy Bryan,

    Do you have internet banking, free statements up to 3 months, or was it that you requested statements that were more than 3 months back?

    Standard bank does the same thing for older statements.

    Yes but companies do not accept bank statements that are printed via internet banking. Must have the bank's stamp on it. Much cheaper to print it yourself & get it stamped, than pay those astronomically high bank charges for THEM to print it for you.

    Doesn't FNB send printed statements every month though?

    I can (almost) understand misplacing a statement and having to go back to the bank for a copy, but a whole year's worth?
    Ouch!
